TAMPA ? USF head coach Jim Leavitt announced Tuesday that he plans to assist junior defensive end George Selvie in submitting paperwork to the NFL Advisory Committee. 

Currently, USF does not plan to submit paperwork for any other draft-eligible players.

The NFL's Advisory Committee is responsible for evaluating and returning grades to underclassmen that are interested in possibly declaring for the NFL Draft. College players that are three years removed from high school can make themselves eligible for the draft.

Selvie will not make a determination on his NFL Draft status until after the Bulls' bowl game.
 
Selvie, a consensus All-American in 2007, has been rated as the top defensive end in American by some NFL Draft experts. Nearly every draft expert lists Selvie as a first round pick. Currently, ESPN.com's Todd McShay has Selvie as the 26th best draft-eligible prospect.

Last season, USF cornerback Mike Jenkins became the first USF player drafted in the opening round.  He went to the Dallas Cowboys with the 25th pick.  Fellow corner Trae Williams was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fifth round and has since joined the Philadelphia Eagles.

USF has had 10 players drafted through since the inception of the program in 1997.
